    Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into bundles called fascicles. Each fiber contains repeating contractile units called sarcomeres that shorten when stimulated by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction, causing muscle contraction. The nervous system controls muscle fibers through motor neurons that transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to trigger contraction or relaxation of specific muscles.
